The Las Vegas Raiders were embarrassed at home by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, as Tom Brady and company rolled in the second half.
Coming off their bye week, the Las Vegas Raiders played host to Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who were coming off a dominant win against the Green Bay Packers. While Derek Carr and company tried to keep it interesting, Tampa Bay pulled away in a big way in the second half.
The Las Vegas Raiders came out of the gates firing on all cylinders, forcing a three-and-out on defense, and then driving the length of the field for a touchdown. A Derek Carr to Nelson Agholor connection put the Silver and Black up 7-0, but the lead would not last long, as Tom Brady led his team down and scored on a one-yard sneak.
A Daniel Carlson field goal would give the Raiders back the lead, but for the rest of the first half, it was all Tampa Bay, scoring 14 straight. The dagger was a 33-yard touchdown from Brady to Scotty Miller with a little more than half a minute left in the first half, sending the two teams into the locker room with the Bucs up 21-10.
Las Vegas got the ball to open the second half, but Tampa Bay would be the first to score, as Ryan Succop gave them a 24-10 lead. The Raiders looked to be making a move, as Carr hit Darren Waller for a touchdown to get within a score, but from there, it all went downhill.
Instead of going for it on fourth down deep in Bucs territory, Jon Gruden went for the field goal, and while Daniel Carlson hit it, that would prove to be a turning point. Tampa Bay scored three fourth quarter touchdowns, capping what would turn out to be a blowout loss for the Silver and Black.
